Seen hovering over the Lipstick Building ahead of the Hannukah holiday

New York - (Ponzi Ponce Mess): "At first we thought it was giant inflatable dreidel," neighbors of Ponzi-scam trickster Bernard Madhoff said today following reports of an ominous Hannukah UFO seen hovering over the disgraced trader's Lipstick Building orifices.

"Sure looked like it was spinning out of control - a bit like Madoff's hedge fund PR spiel!"

The New York's Police Department later reported it had been inundated with calls from worried Third Avenue residents insisting the Hannukah UFO was a stark omen of an alien lynch mob 'out to get Madoff'.
